Dr. Hodges and Dr. Ferguson recommend the Top Paw Tuff with Bite Shield Protection Dragon Dog Toy ($13) as an excellent choice for puppies. The Bite Shield protection is a reinforced layer of fabric under the plush top layer that helps stop pups from tearing all the insides out of that toy, they said.
"These toys have double the fun — a squeaker up front and a crinkler in the back! They're also super soft so those puppies can cuddle," they said. "Just remember to never leave your baby alone with a soft toy."
